•
Analytical laboratory
Fish trials research station
Feed technology plant
Annual budget of app.8 mill €
LABORATORY
Purpose
•
Perform analyses and laboratory services for R&D
projects and production control for Skretting and
their customers.
Analyses
•
Raw materials, feed and fish – focus on
aquaculture
•
Proximate composition, physical and nutritional
quality, pigments, amino acids, fatty acids,
medicine, etc.
•
Accredited according to ISO 17025
•
Certified according to ISO 9001 and 14001
Resources
•
15 manyears
•
EUR 1.2 mill (NOK 9.5 mill) investment
FEED TECHNOLOGY PLANT
Purpose
• Be a state-of-the-art technology plant where
Skretting makes
•
•
•
Experimental diets for fish
Feed technology trials and development
Training within feed production
Resources
• 4 manyears
• EUR 2 mill (NOK 17 mill) investment
FISH TRIALS STATION - LERANG
Purpose
• To perform R&D trials with salmonids and cold
water marine species
Type of trials offered
• Fish growth and - quality
• Digestibility and palatibility
• Benchmarking
• Envirnoment and feed interactions
Resources
• 10 manyears
• EUR 7 mill (NOK 55 mill) investment
Focus areas in nutrition research
• Defining nutritional needs and response
• (Protein, amino acids, energy and FAs, vitamins and
minerals)
• Various species
• Various life stages
• Various environment (temperature, …)
• Raw material values
• “New” and existing RMs
• Defining quality criteria (Nutrition Processing and food
safety)
• Digestible nutrient content / Nutritional value
• Anti-nutritional factors (max inclusion)
• …in various environment (temperature…)
Focus areas in nutrition research
• Pigmentation of salmonids
• Pigment cost about 15% of total feed cost
• Evaluation of pigment sources, retention and optimum
pigment regime
• Functional diets - Feed ingredients that
• Strengthen immune system
• Support transfer from fresh to salt water
• Gut stabilisation ingredients
• Harvesting diets
It is very much about fish meal and
oil substitution

Fish oil substitution
• Status: Minimum 30% FO
• Max 50% of 1 veg oil source
• Challenges:
•
• It is not about FCR, SGR, Texture or Taste
• It is not about nutritional needs, when keeping 30% FO
• But less knowledge when we come closer to 100%
substitution
• Need more knowledge in critical phases like smoltification
(a.o. cataract)
Research focus:
• Know nutritional needs in various life stages, to avoid Production
Induced Disorders (PID)
• Know how to optimise a limited source of EPA/DHA
Fish Meal substitution
•
Fish Meal substitution is a jigsaw with 4 puzzles:
1. Availability of concentrated raw materials (>60%
protein + fat), and defining their nutritional value.
2. Understanding digestibility of minerals with high
inclusion of veg proteins. To avoid Production
Induced Disorders
3. Knowledge of salmon’s nutritional needs, and
market/legal availability of micronutrients
4. Ensure feed intake /palatability
•
…. At an acceptable cost
Feed production
• Process ability of new raw materials
• Interaction between production and nutrition
• New process technology
How and Why do ARC work with
other research institutions?
•
•
•
20-30% of trials are done outside of own facilities
Why:
• Species or environment requirements that make Lerang
impossible to use
• Flexibility, while our facilities are running “100%”
• Special analyses
• Competence that we do not have in-house
• Ensure that we have a large network with various
competencies
• Our task is to implement world class know how, not
necessary develop it.
• Grants
• When we want to publicise
But our own researchers stay very much involved, to be able to
do the implementation afterwards
